Love that piece of fluff on this trumpeter swan’s bill! Too bad about the lousy light that afternoon. Also love the drooling goose in the background! ;D
There have been times that I've waited what seems like forever for a bird to fluff it's feathers and other times I just accept what the wind has to offer! This Northern Shoveler didn't seem to mind this little bit of 'wind fluffing'!

I was going to type fluff and feathers, but with Maple it's more like fluff and fats.
Marggy was requesting hammie photos so I thought I'd oblige. I have to admit this was taken a while back. I have been out for a wedding the whole day and therefore do not have a photo taken today. I will strive to be more diligent tomorrow.
Maple is the fattest hamster I have ever had. She lives with her sister Cedar. Yes, they are all grown up now, Maple more than Cedar. But who doesn't love fat hammies?!
Top of the hill lunch-break with a New England delicacy! Enjoying a Fluffernutter snack and taking in the southern NH view from the summit parking/rec. area of Mount Kearsarge. It's roughly ten miles and about 2500 ft. in elevation from my front door to this view.
Looks like first snow on the street...but it is not, it is seeds from nearby willow trees, dropping them now, end of November.
Sorry for posting so many photos, but it's not often we get snow.....
I just took this and wanted to share it with you...
I had just put lots of food and water out for the birds, this little robin came and sat right by my kitchen window.
not sure what that dark patch is under his/her eye....
Taken through the window and cropped.
A quick flick on the hook and the water drops fly. The Spotted Towhee is damp from its bath, now ragged and fluffed.
Calling in the wood waiting to be fed by His parents who were calling close by. This owlet was born in my owl box and although still covered in down can now fly.

The lumberjacks (Perisoreus canadensis) are quite fluffed these days, increasing loft in their feathers during the cold, to hold more body heat.
Another -40 f (-40 C) morning.
Fynn enjoyed some outdoor time this morning as the weather was quite nice. I tried to take some photos of him which turned out to be rather difficult as he behaved like a crazy kitten. Lots of blurry shots were the result. In the meantime all cats are indoors again as we are expecting stormy weather later this afternoon. The main storm front will hit northern Germany and we are in the south, so I hope that it won't be too bad but I still prefer if the cats stay at home until it's over.
Great Horned Owl
Summer Lake Wildlife Area, OR
On my first visit to Summer Lake this year, I hit the jackpot with two Great Horned Owl pairs roosting near their prospective nest sites. None of them were fazed at all by human presence. The nest sites are located at campgrounds on the refuge, so the owls are quite used to people. I think this is the female of one pair- her mate was roosting out in the open as well about 75 ft (23 m) away.
